Assignment
Now that Aldi has moved out, a young team of operators is taking over the retail space. A new addition/extension is intended to increase visibility, serve as a new entrance, and provide indoor and outdoor seating for a small café. We are looking for an elegant solution that connects the interior and exterior and opens up new ways of experiencing both spaces. The existing retail space will remain unchanged.

We are striving to reconfigure this world of ultra-practical materials and neon-colored signs in such a way that a sense of quality and comfort emerges in place of mono-functional, transactional atmosphere today.
Pastiche
According to critics, a pastiche is a rather clumsy work cobbled together from fragments of great art—or perhaps a collage of mediocrities. And yet: quoting, collaging, blending influences, and building on what already exists form the foundation not only for the Beastie Boys, Terry Gilliam, and Marcel Duchamp. If you squint, you’ll see: large swaths of architectural history are nothing other than pastiche.
